BAG.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 773,514, dated October25, 1904.

Y Application filed ipril 23, 1904. Serial No.` 204,502. (No model.) i

T0 all whom, it may concern:

, Be it known that LHARRY S.Mo sEs, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Bags, 'of which thefollowing, when takenin connection with the drawings accompanying andforming a part hereof, isa full and'complete description sufficient toenable .those skilled in the art to which it pertains to understand,make, and use the same. r

This invention relates to cloth-lined bags;

and the object of this invention is to obtain'l means whereby7 thesheet-metal U-shaped -pieces in the jaws of the bag may alsobelined orcovered with material like or correspondingv to or in harmony with thelining of the bag' in such manner as to have a pleasing appearance andcover not onlyT such sheet-metal pieces, but also the rivets securingthe same" in place.

In the drawings referred to as forming a part of this specification,Figure 1 is a top plan viewof the strip used by me to cover thesheet-metal U-shaped piece which is attached to the inside of the jawsof the bag. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the strip illustrated -in Fig.1 partially wrapped around and attached to the U-shaped metal piece ofthe jaws of the bag. Fig, 3 is atop View of a bag embodying thisinvention with the jaws of the bag opened to their fullest extent,showing the U-shaped metal piece referred to as the same appears whencovered with the strip'illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a sectional viewon line 4. 4 of Fig. 2 viewed in the direction indicated by the arrows,and Fig. 5 is a sectional view on line 5 5 of Fig. 3 viewed in thedirection indicnted by the arrows; Y

A reference-letter applied to designate a given part is used to indicate'such part throughoutthe several figures of the drawings wherever thesame appears.

. The lining of thebag to which this invention is applied consists ofcloth, and the strip used by me also consists of cloth, and A, Fig. 1,is such Vstrip asthe same is cut from a body of cloth. Such strip mustbe so cut that the warp and filling thereof will run diagonally acrossit, as is indicated by the lines lettered a2 a2. The strip A is attachedto` one side of the U-shaped metal piece C by any suitable adhesive,after which the part of the strip lettered @3(see Fig. 2) is turnedback, as on lines a a, Fig. 1, into substantially the positionillustrated in Figs. 2 and 4.

It will be found when the strip A is cut in the manner directed fromcloth and secured to the U-shaped piece C by any suitable adhesivesubstance, -as stated, that such strip may be readily turned around thecorners or bends of the U-shaped piece in substantially themannerindicated in Figs. 2 andB, whereturn around or bend on the flatside of the U- shaped piece-that is, there is no wrinkle caused byturning the stripA around the bend of the U-shaped piece, such stripconforming closely,` to the bend of the U-shaped piece C.

Strip A is not secured to the U-shaped metal piece C on the part thereofwhich is lettered a3, and after such U-shaped piece has been riveted inplace in the jaws bf. the bag, with the material of the bag and thelining thereof interposed between such U-shaped piece and the side ofthe jaws vadjacent thereto, and thereby secured thereto, (by rivetsB'B,) the free edge of the part a3 is forced in between such U-shapedpiece and thelining cl of the bag. v

D is the material of which the bag is made,v and d is the liningthereof.Y andthe several parts are in relation to each other after thefree edge of part as has-beenl forced into place as described, as isshown in Fig. 5 of the drawings.

Vin the lines@4 a* represent the manner in which the warp or filling ofvsuch strip will The face a5- -is obtained, consisting of cloth`suitable to be usedwiththe lining of the bagthat is, corresponding intexture and color or properly contrasting therewith-and covering notonly the U-shaped piece, but also the heads of the rivets, thusimparting avery presentable appearanceto the bag when the same isopened.

I am aware that leather has been heretofore bent around the fiat side ofthe jaws of a baO" but the same is usually vdone by wetting the leatheruntil the sanne can be drawn into the desired shape, and so far as I arnaware no effort has been heretofore made to attach cloth to the U-shapedpiece which is attached to the inside of such jaws, as hereinbeforedescribed,

The jaws of the bag are lettered E, and F is the leather covering of thejaws.

Having thus described rny invention, its construction and manner ofoperation, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

l. In a bag, a U-shaped metal piece, corresponding U-shaped jaws, andrivets securing the metal piece and the jaws together, with the bag andlining thereof between thern, in coinbination with a strip'of clothhaving the warp and filling thereof running diagonally to the length ofthe strip, such strip attached to the side of the U-shaped metal pieceadjacent to the jaws and then brought forward over the metal strip andover the head of the rivets therein and the free edge thereof forcedbetween the metal strip and the jaws; substantially as described.,

2. The combination of a U-shaped metal piece and a strip of cloth cutwith the warp and filling thereof running diagonally to the length ofthe strip, and with such strip attached to one face of the U-shapedmetal piece; then brought forward over the U-shaped lnctal piece and thefree edge of such strip brought around the U-shaped metal strip incontact with the part of the strip attached to the U- shaped metalstrip; substantially as described.
